Early variegation is not unusual. The first set of single and 3-fingered leaves often have blemishes and the plant will grow perfectly normal after that. variegation is not a problem even if it continues. A little inconsistency in pigmentation... if it's part of some larger mutation or set of mutations, might be an issue, but only time will tell. It's rare. I've seen some with spotty leaves that just grew weird, but kept up with other plants... then buds formed like shit too. leaves weren't inconsistent 'green' but a bit oddly formed and not as perky. variegation alone was not the issue, in other words. sure looks like you are watering mostly correctly given the context of a small plant in a too large pot. Keep watering a dimaeter around the small plant, but make sure that moisture goes all the way to the bottom. expand diameter as the plant grows. this trains a healthier, deeper root system and avoids superfical shitty root system. Don't choose the volume of water that makes you feel good... you give enough water to accomplish the task.. no less, no more. a little water coming out the bottom tells you that you accomplished the task. In future, it's better to grow small plants in appropriately sized pots and pot up as necessary. Potting up is not stressful and contrary to popular belief about autoflwoers, does not shock them, lol. Total nonsense bro science looks like penty of perlite per volume, so drainage and aeration is fine, too. Overwatering would be difficult to do. Saturating the substrate, or in this case a column of it around the too small plant, is not 'overwatering'. It's the correct thing to do. half-ass watering leads to problems, not the opposite. As long as you wait for top inch to dry (shallower in coco), you cannot overwater with a properly constituted substrate (enough drainage elements etc.. 50% in soil and 33% in coco is enough perlite or similar to make overwatering impossible for any rational behaviours and gives an optimal gas:water mixture in the substrate for optimal root health)

pH could be lower than 7.0, around 6.4 to 6.8 would be better. Never water x amount every x days.........always water the entire pot until you get run off, then don't water again until the top 3cm or so has dried out again, no matter how long that takes, be it one day or 10 days. Your mix of soil, coco and perlite makes over watering almost impossible. Roots need moist soil to expand into, they won't grow into dry soil, so by limiting your water habits to 300ml, you are reducing your plants ability to grow. Over watering is watering too frequently and having a constantly soaked substrate that prevents oxygen exchange. Prevention of over watering is not limiting the amount of water to keep the soil dry and the plants at the edge of dehydration. Don't get overly concerned with a couple of funny spots on the leaves, often the first few sets of leaves can be weird while the plant is still figuring out what life is all about.........usually by the fourth set of leaves, everything will be on track and normal. A plant this size and age can not have any deficiencies if planted in any half reasonable quality soil mix. Remember too............no plant will ever have 100% perfect leaves, 100% of the time.

I agree, plants looking good. bit of variation and some weird texture on the leaves but that's pretty normal, should grow out of it. Air pots dry out faster as well giving the more surface area exposed to the elements. Make sure you give them a proper water so the plant can explore all aspects of the medium. Roots don't explore dry parts.

I don’t see anything wrong with the caramel plant. She looks ok. However taking a look at your diary I see your RH listed at 39%. That’s low for seedling stage. You wanna bring that RH up to 60-65% at this stage. If you can fix that she’ll be a much happier girl and perform much better. Good luck.
